SPECIAL TASK FORCE CLARIIFIES EVACUATION ORDER


The Special Task Force, STF, maintaining peace in Plateau has said that the evacuation order given to some communities in Barkin Ladi and Riyom local governments is based on `military necessity’.


Residents have given different interpretations to the order, with some alleging, that some specific groups were being targeted.

Major-General Ayoola said the STF was already aware that all the villages were deserted following the recent attacks in the area.

He expressed regret for the inconveniences caused by the decision, adding that the state government had put in place some relief arrangements.
